With all the excitement of the wave of attacks on the Co$ over the last two months, the wonderfully no-contact-with-reality 80-page Freedumb mag and the predictable rise in trolling on this board I'm left to ponder this question: is DM actually a true believer in the doctrine of the cult or has He come to fancy He's actually better at it than Hubbard was and is now creating His own doctrine for the faithful?
He's just spent god-knows-how-much defending Himself with the Freedumb mag that contained no pictures of Hubbard and no real mention of him either.
He obviously wrote most if not all of that mag as His sick sense of humour is manifest right through it.
He's altered the books, the Grades, the TRs - basically everything that was ever a "basic" in the cult has been DMed in some way.
Even the trolls are running interference for DM rather than Hubbard and the Co$ these days - attacks on Hubbard draw an apathetic yawn from the Bridge dwellers but they sure came out in numbers when the SP Times hit town.
So, does DM consider He is now Source?
Or does He still believe in the wisdom and infallibility of his late mentor?
FWIW I think David Miscavige is both a "true believer" AND of the opinion that he, and not Hubbard, is the one able to "clear the planet". Here is a post I did on WWP that touches on this. Just my opinion but I wanted to share it:

"I suspect Dude that you are correct here. And I say this having a lot of direct experience with David Miscavige, particularly in his rise to power and his solidifying his power in the couple of years after that.
I once posted my own views of the real power in scientology which pointed out how Hubbard controlled it for the longest time and then how Miscavige took over.
The Real Power in Scientology - DM's Lies - alt.religion.scientology | Google Groups
Near the end of it I talked about some of the worse parts in scientology, as well as all that Xenu/"OT" stuff being Hubbard's madness ("case"). I gave my opinion that Miscavige thinks he has gotten Hubbard's power but I rather think he got Hubbard's curse (of madness).
I saw Miscavige rise to power. I saw a hugely immature person carry out abuses far in excess of what they ever were in organized scientology (which is saying A LOT as there were many abuses before Miscavige).
While Hubbard considered that it must be "out ethics" or "PTSness" behind all the many failures in expanding scientology, and thus acted harshly towards all he felt were "out ethics" or "PTS", he failed to see that it was his crazy policies and much of the crazy "tech" behind the failures.
Related to this point is something I said in my affidavit about legal and Hubbard. Hubbard never understood that it was his crazy policies re practicing medicine/psychology without a license, hard selling, false promises, disconnection, etc., etc. that were what was really behind so many legal problems they were having. He never got it. To "get it" he would have to understand that it was his tech or policies that were wrong and he just could not do that IMO.
He always blamed others and not himself. He'd sometimes blame legal for not having sufficient cloaking to hide things or to keep the money from litigants as the "real problem" and never got it that his policies were the real problem.
IMO the entire corporate structure and religious cloaking of organized scientology is but a manifestation of the "case"/madness of Hubbard of having to deceive, control others, hide the power, control the money secretly, etc. (Watch out for all those "bad guys", they are everywhere)!
And what I saw in David Miscavage is all that I describe above and worse.
A couple years ago Miscavige even said privately (I know from one of his attorneys who tried to scare me off) that he was the man to take scientology far beyond where Hubbard could take it. Hubbard started it but it would take Miscavige to truly "clear the planet". He compared Hubbard and himself to those two in the Mormon faith in "similar" positions.
The scary thing is that Miscavige believes all that and will punish in the most cruel fashion anyone who he feels is in the way.
Imagine, for example, how horrible it would be to be an executive in a failing continental area or in a big organization and then get an RTC mission. That mission would be going there "knowing" you are "out ethics RPF bait" and will treat you like shit as the failure there must be your fault for all the above reasons.
Miscavige is a true believer indeed BUT what he believes in includes the very worse of Hubbard which he saw in Hubbard's maddest years. And this includes secretly controlling others, lying, abusing others, controlling all the money possible, seeing huge "out ethics" in everyone but yourself and trusting no one else.
My opinion? Like I said before, Miscavige did not inherit "power", he inherited a curse. And it is a curse of madness.
But he is a "believer". And the real problem with this includes the fact that he sees to the carrying out many dangerous and illegal actions as part of that belief.
It's fine to believe in a sun god and that is constitutionally protected in the USA. But it is not fine, for example, to sacrifice virgins to that sun god no matter how "religious" that practice is considered.
Know what I mean? Miscavige doesn't. But we will teach him IMHO.
